Cory Gardner Called Hero, Sh*thead After Judge Roy Moore’s Shocking Loss

Colorado Senator Cory Gardner is being both celebrated and castigated for his role in the apparent defeat of fellow Republican Judge Roy Moore in Alabama’s U.S. Senate election yesterday, December 12. As is clear from a collection of tweets on view below, those who backed Moore’s opponent, Democrat Doug Jones, see Gardner’s decision to criticize and withhold financial support from Moore as a heroic act, while fans of the judge and President Donald Trump, who offered the alleged sexual assaulter his full-throated endorsement, see his moves as downright traitorous to the GOP cause.

Marty Lenz to Replace Steffan Tubbs on KOA’s Colorado Morning News

Marty Lenz, a Denver native and former Colorado State University footballer who worked at several metro-area stations before becoming a prominent media personality in San Francisco, has been named the new host of KOA’s signature program Colorado Morning News.

Activist: Falling Colorado Teen Pot Use Stats Hard for Jeff Sessions to Dismiss

A new federal study shows that marijuana use among teens in Colorado has fallen below levels seen prior to the implementation of Amendment 64, the measure that legalized limited recreational cannabis sales in the state. Given the report’s origins, attorney and activist Brian Vicente, who co-authored Amendment 64, says haters of progressive marijuana laws such as Attorney General Jeff Sessions will find it more difficult than ever to suggest that these statistics are flawed.

Scott Pack’s Website Accused Him of Living It Up After Committing Pot Fraud

Entrepreneur Scott Pack is the target of an amended lawsuit that builds on a complaint about what the attorney who filed the first one called the largest marijuana fraud case in Colorado history. Pack was also the subject of a surprising attack on the website of his old company, Harmony & Green, in which what were described as former employees juxtaposed apologies for his actions with photos that portrayed him as living it up after being indicted by an Arapahoe County grand jury for allegedly ripping off investors for as much as $10 million.
